From notes to a professional PDF
Paste text from an email, a chat or a notes app and turn it into a tidy PDF in a minute: add a title, split it into sections with headings, use bullets for lists and a table for figures. The PDF uses clean typography, page numbers and real text you can search and copy.
Why create PDFs instead of sending text?
PDFs look the same on every phone, computer and printer, can't be accidentally edited, and are what most forms, offices and teachers expect. Creating one in your browser means the content isn't uploaded to a conversion server first.
Good layouts for text PDFs
Start with a clear title as Heading 1, then break longer text into sections with Heading 2 so readers can scan it. Keep paragraphs short, use bullet points for lists of items or steps, and put figures in a table rather than in sentences. Choose A4 for most countries and US Letter for the United States and Canada so the PDF prints without scaling.
If you paste text from an email or website, check for stray line breaks and use Find and replace to clean up repeated characters.
